F ormer president George Bush
was inducted into the Maine
Baseball Hall of Fame on Sun
day.
Wow!
Bush played in the College World
Series in 1947 and 1948 as a first
baseman for Yale. He played 31
games his senior year and had an
impressive .992 fielding percentage,
245 put outs and 18 assists. Not bad
for the wimpiest president since
Calvin Coolidge.
For his baseball achievements,
Bush received a plaque, a T-shirt
and a hat at the induction ceremony.
Once again, that’s a plaque, a T-shirt
and a hat.
Now, I’m not the biggest George
Bush fan in the world, but it seems
to me giving a T-shirt and a hat to
the former president in recognition
for any accomplishment is beyond
trivial.
It’s right up there with Jerry
Jones giving Jimmy Johnson a T-
shirt in thanks for his work with the
Cowboys. Jones received $2 million
dollars by the way.
Recognition is nice, and it doesn’t
have to be something extravagent.
There can’t be anything more de
meaning to a grown man, particular
ly one having held the highest office
in the nation, than giving him what
players in the Little League World
Series get for merely participating.
OT George was surely gracious
when he received his T-shirt and
hat, though. Who knows, maybe he
wears the hat when he golfs or mows
the yard down in Houston.
Odds are A&M will be seeing that
hat and T-shirt in the Bush Library.
Alongside his Yale uniform and some
great old pictures, they will serve as
a reminder that even former presi
dents are subjected to tackiness.
Healing the injured
DAMAGE
By Mark Smith
The Battalion
Even with all of the training and
preparations athletes go through to try
to ensure success in their sport, injuries
will occur.
The severity of these injuries range
over a wide spectrum, from minor “turf”
bums to severe back and neck injuries.
When athletes are injured, there is a
number of specialists that help with
Part three of three
their treatment and recovery.
Dr. William Hamilton, an orthopedic
surgeon for Scott and White Hospital in
Temple, said there are two main ap
proaches to treating a sports injury.
“There is the nonoperative approach,
which deals mainly with internal medi
cine,” Hamilton said. “And there’s the
operative approach, which requires
surgery.”
When an injury occurs to an athlete it
is usually the athletic trainer who is first
to evaluate the nature of the injury and
recommend a course of action. In almost
all but the most minor injuries, the play
er is then sent to see a doctor, usually an
orthopedist, for further examination.
Hamilton explained the procedure in
volved with the preliminary examina
tion.

National League ends streak, wins 8-7 in tenth
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Tony Gwynn
scored on the most exciting play at the
pl^te in the All-Star game since Pete
Rose, barely making it home on Moi-
ses Alou’s double in the 10th inning,
and the National League ended its six-
game losing streak with an 8-7 victory
Tuesday night.
Fred McGriff’s tying two-run homer
in the bottom of the ninth off Lee
Smith earned him MVP honors and
sent the game into extra innings,
where the NL now has a 9-0 edge.
Gwynn, one of the few players left
from the days of NL domination,
opened the 10th with a single off Ja
son Bere. Alou followed with a drive to
left-center field and

never broke stride.
While third-base coach
Jim Leyland was wav
ing Gwynn home and
running with him down
the line, strong-armed
shortstop Cal Ripken Jr.
took left fielder Albert
Belle’s relay and threw
home. But Gwynn, a 10-time All
Star, snuck his foot through the legs
of catcher Ivan Rodriguez a split sec
ond ahead of the tag.
Gwynn, who had dou
bled in two runs in the
third, was mobbed at the
plate after ending a game
that both teams played
hard to win. It was that
way in the days of Rose,
too, especially when he
ran over catcher Ray Fosse
to score the winning run in
the 12th inning in 1970.
The NL’s last win was the
last game to go extra innings,
a 2-0 victory in the 13th inning in
1987. That night in Oakland, Smith
was the winning pitcher.
Doug Jones was the winner this
year on a night when eight NL pitch
ers managed to turn off the American
League’s power.
Bere, who faced only the two bat
ters, was the loser.
The NL leads the series 38-26-1.
Marquis Grissom also homered for
the NL, while Ken Griffey Jr. and
Kenny Lofton each drove in two runs
for the AL.
McGriff connected for the NL’s first
pinch-hit homer since Lee Mazzilli in
